About the Book

Mobile Python is the introduction of Python programming language to the mobile space. This practical hands–on book teaches readers how to realize their applic ation ideas on the Symbian OS. Programming on the Symbian mobile platform has been difficult and time consuming in the past. This innovative new title will remedy this problem. Chapters deal with topics that are based on Python S60 features and presented in an order that lets the user learn first the “simple to code” ones and then increasing in complexity.
